Tutorial on the computation of responses for under damped 2nd order systems, using Laplace and time domain methods. Includes worked solutions.
Published 04/09/14
Beginning from the standard form for 2nd order models using damping ratio and natural frequency, considers how the frequency of oscillation and overshoot depend upon the damping ratio (assumed less than one). Uses zero initial conditions.
